Herbal Factors Horse Chestnut & Grape Seed 60 Caps

Horse Chestnut & Grape Seed formula combines two clinically studied herbal extracts for vein health. Together, they are used in herbal medicine to help treat varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and associated symptoms. Horse chestnut supports venous tone and blood flow, and inhibits enzymes that can weaken blood vessels, causing varicose veins, including hemorrhoids. Grape seed extract helps protect capillaries, veins, and arteries.

Varicose veins are often caused by enzymes that destroy the proteoglycan network in the veins, which reduces the strength of vessel walls, causing the veins to dilate and pool blood. Aescin (escin), a triterpenoid isolated from horse chestnut, helps to inhibit these damaging enzymes, increases the tone of the veins and improves return blood flow to the heart. Grape seed extract works synergistically with horse chestnut to strengthen blood vessels, reduce bruising and inhibit the tendency to develop varicose veins. The helpful flavonoids in grape seed extract, called proanthocyanidins or leucoanthocyanins, are superior antioxidants, protecting capillaries, veins and arteries from free radical damage. Grape seed flavonoids enhance the performance of vitamin C, essential for collagen formation.
